Funny how my motherhood has changed my attitude to money. Before money was not an issue. There was always some cash in my account. And more importantly there was the certainty that more was due to come on a specified day of the month. So I was not particulalry bothered to have spent 50 quid on a round of beers for a bunch of people, whose names, faces and their peculiar 0-in more or less detail discussed- hobbies, observations or feelings had evaporated from my memory by the time I took my hangover busting morning coffee (naturally the expensive sort, from Starbucks). God, if I had not been spending lavishly on beer and that coffee for years and years as a single, fully employed silly girl, I would have at least owned half of the house in which I live with my partner. But then, I never had even for one second thought I would end up with two children, no earnings and a partner to take the sole responsibility for my (our) existance.
So now, 3 years down the line of mothering, I am determined to pull myself together and find myself money earning occuption.As a matter of fact I have already started sending my CVs. I am prepared to take on anything. So far, so so bad. Rejection.rejection. total dejection...On the plus side, some firms informed me I was overqualified. But most did not bother to get in touch.
Cannot give up, there are so many things I need the money for!!!I guess, this this the first time in my life that any job advert that says: looking for money-motivated individual is for me! Although, I always have the feeling that beneath that statement lies a call for some sucker prepared to accept a crap basic and a sweet prospect of bitterly unrealistic OTE. Am I wrong..
